- In this video I talk about what channels you can pick up at your location with an antenna. While some may think you'll only get networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox, most areas will actually pick up dozens more thanks to subchannels.

I recently upgraded to a smart TV. I didn't think I needed a converter box to get over the air stations on a smart TV? I hooked up the antenna and didn't get anything. Do I have to have 1 or did I do something wrong?
We live in Phoenix Arizona and it's a great location for antenna TV. All the transmitters are located on South Mountain.
Yep, I lived in Phoenix until three years ago, and remember picking up a lot of stuff even with a cheap indoor antenna. Once in a while I'd rescan and see if anything else showed up.
Great Video, as usual.
Quick, informative, and right to the point.
When am I camping this summer I brought a TV and some cheap rabbit ears and I picked up QVC and HSN over the air for free I thought that was odd but still it's pretty neat to see two channels that I did not want to watch on TV for free especially the shopping channels I thought that was kind of funny. The thing is though my cell phone had no cell service so I didn't feel any of it and I wish I filmed it and put it online who knows maybe eventually when I go camping again I'll do that bring a camera with me and when I get home from my camping trip I'll do that. I bought a cheap antenna for like 20 bucks and it did it's job good enough.
HSN and QVC have been on low power stations for years.
@@ChristopherSobieniak There is one in my area, Ventana Television-owned W33EI.
@@friesareyummy My area has this.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WDMY-LD
@@ChristopherSobieniak Apparently it's a silent VCY America-owned station. Dunno if that's true or not though lol
@@friesareyummy Hard go tell, whether they're broadcasting or not. These sort of stations always come and go.
NBC Universal has made Oxygen a cable channel now over the air. In select markets as an NBC substation.
@USANATV2007's 2nd Channel: Full Episodes & Movies Telemundo has always been over the air. There was just a couple of years at least over here in the DC area where we didn't have an over the air Telemundo station.
Okay I just did some research they didn't really leave but they moved channels in 2007 from 64 to 25 and then in 2018 from 25 to channel 44 and I don't really watch Telemundo so I didn't notice lmao.
@@zelloguy But yes, Telemundo has been over-the-air since its inception.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemundo
@@ChristopherSobieniak This station has had an interesting history
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WZDC-CD
@@zelloguy Looks that way, being in Washington but being a low power station owned by the network.
That's good to hear.
My cousin installed an antenna in her area and was thrilled that she picked up many popular channels not available on her cable system (before she severed the cord). As I understand, cable doesn't have to carry stations if the signal level is too low for their area, and in this case, it's a low power station WHCT, transmitting only 15kw. She's on the outer edge of the reception band (according to the FCC) (40 mi.), but with an antenna recommended by Tyler, we were amazed that she picked up these stations perfectly by propping the antenna in her downstairs window. The assumption that cable has everything available in your area is not always true. The assumption that you always have to have a high antenna is also not always true. She didn't want the antenna in her house so placed it on a 6 ft pole in the yard.
Her local channels, coming from the reverse side presented a challenge, so we've ordered a second antenna to use with an adjustable preamp that allows 2 antennas to be joined. The Televes preamp we ordered was featured by Tyler. I have the 3 input model where 3 antennas feed stations into my distribution system from multiple locations. Each antenna works completely independently. I don't have Televes antenna's but I can report that their preamps for joining multiple antenna are top notch.
I get 91 channels from my location in Michigan City, Indiana from the Chicago and South Bend market. Pretty much everything you can expect with an over the air TV antenna. I even installed antenna for my family, friends and neighbors.
This is a great primer and I am going to share it with my friends. In my case, I've been OTA only for over ten years and where I live right now I get about 80+ channels with an indoor antenna in Metro Detroit. Reception for my major stations come in during any weather.
I envy you being in Detroit, I'm from Toledo. Used to watch Detroit stations clearly on my grandma's TV as she had Channel Master towers. I can only get 33 channels locally down here, but would love the power of DX-ing out of town.
@@ChristopherSobieniak With a large antenna and tower, you could probably pick up the high-power major networks in Detroit from Toledo. Definitely would be harder than in the analog days.
@@chrisbosley7095 I know. Just isn't the same as it was picking up channels 20, 50, 56 and 62 in my bedroom from a Radio Shack bowtie antenna nailed to the wall. I even got 19 and 43 from Cleveland, sometimes TVOntario and CKCO from Canada.
I'm in northern lower Michigan. What all channels are you getting OTA in Detroit? Getting any of the Tri-Cities or Lansing channels? I'm guessing you get some channels from Canada as well?
I live within walking distance of a couple of the towers, and I get all the local channels plus CBC Windsor and TVO. I live too far from the other markets and have only seen Lansing or the Tri-Cities under tropo events. Totally satisfied with what I have!
Thank you for this back to basics information.
Thanks to Tyler we get 80 channels on our GREAT Televes Dat Boss LR 149884 antenna!! (Palm Bay, Florida, 32908)-We get our broadcasting out of Orlando (Bithlo) which is over 50 miles away! We also get about 8 stations out of West Palm Beach when we really shouldn't be as THEY are over 100 miles away!!
Been thinking of buying that 1. I'm in Ocala. Using ge pro antenna at the moment I get 20 solid channels. I can get up to around 50. I should just drop that cash n buy it already.
@@dmo848 You should really have Tyler do a reception report on your exact location and recommend the RIGHT ANTENNA. Its well worth the $40 for lifetime support. The Televes antenna that I have may not be what you need up there in Ocala. I'm thinking you may either get reception from Orlando or Gainesville or both. But Please let Tyler help you, don't just buy "an antenna"
@@richardbarkley9909 I am getting from both markets your right. At night time I get Orlando but all day it's Gainesville for the most part. I have 3 antennas but none put up high or on my roof. Only place I get good reception so far is in my closet of all places. I've never ran far or gone up on the roof. That's my next hurdle as I have the whole house hooked up. I jus need to find the best slot for the antenna plus a better 1. I have the ge pro, RCA yagi and the clear stream 5 which was the biggest waste of money ever.
@@richardbarkley9909 for all the questions if end up asking him he would probably block my ass. Lol cheers my friend, thanks for everything
@@dmo848 Tyler will not block you. Just LET him help you. He IS an ANTENNA EXPERT!!
Another great video.
Just put up antenna Tyler Recommend and turned out great!!! Well worth the $
Thanks for the kind words!
In Las Vegas, NV, I get about 123 channels (only keeping 56 channels as I filter out shopping, religious, and other red flag channels) with great signal from a low-VHF capable antenna installed by a local professional. Only trope is that about three stations break up a lot despite having great signal and having a 5G filter plugged in, as well as losing one station that had excellent signal and going completely off out of the blue, it's been almost two months now, I contacted the company of that station, to no avail. Other than that, having an antenna is great, even better when having it plugged into an AirTV to watch on Sling with their Orange channels. 👍
A friend of mine lives in your region and had a problem with OTA channel 25.2, Movies Channel, going dark. He rescanned the channels on his TV, and Movies Channel on 25.2 was back on-the-air. So, could it be something with the TV stations repacking the channels? Hope this suggestion helps.
I had a similar problem . Good signal but some pixilation. I went on Amazon and read reviews on amplifiers and noise reduction devices product description is a waste of time . I had not grounded my antenna yet and thought that was a problem but I got no feedback on that . I rotated the antenna many times and I was getting a bit nutty with it because I was so close but yet so far. I came apon a review on a Amazon product who had a similar problem and went through the ringer to solve . Like you he went with a noise reduction and much more until he bought the GE outdoor digital amplifier . I was sceptical as my cable run was short and like you a decent signal . To my surprise the puxslation is gone . Did not have to give up on any of my stations or choose between them . I don't know how it has improved my picture quality . I think it does have some noise reduction capabilities with boosting signal strength . For $25 and Amazon return policy I had nothing to loose .
Another informative video. I live in the Los Angeles area. I can receive about 120 OTA stations. There are many duplicates, of course. And almost as many various foreign language stations as English. I also have Spectrum cable TV, which I stream with a Roku device. Spectrum has 125 channels, which includes all regional sports channels. The only streaming service that costs less, is one Sling service.
You get 120 OTA out there in LA?? 🤯 I live in Maine and depending on what mood my antenna is in, I get between 8-18 stations. Do you even need cable with that many OTA channels? 😂
@@xbrandi12345x Yes, but there are not 120 different channels. There are a lot of repeats. There are three Home shopping networks, that are on four different channels, etc. I only get Spectrum for the local sports. But the Kings and Ducks both lost tonight, by a combined 13-0. I must be crazy to keep paying for that!
I live about 3 miles SW of D'Land and tuner says I get 165 channels/sub-channels. Same duplicate programming as you have with some unused channels too. I live 33 miles from Mt. Wilson and use the antenna that he showed with a figure 8 and cross bar.
@@steveallen1055 I use an indoor antenna, so I can't get all the channels. Every time I rescan, I get a different number. Antenna Web says there should be "up to" 208 channels in Southern California.
Again where you live is probably 80 percent of what you will get. I live on the east coast of the Carolinas and get all major stations and sub stations...34 in all and I use a 12 indoor antenna about the size of a sheet of paper that lies flat on a small table.
Hey Tyler ... Oregon here,I'm using the little magnetic stubby like 3-1/2" tall antenna/with amplifier do-dad
And I receive about 43 channels quite easily and yes I have one of your favorite pieces of crap that gets approximately the same amount and they are both inside. Thankyou for all your info in which you share with us all👍
Chicago area, i get all the main stations, PBS, and many others (57 channels in total). And I am just using the ClearStream 2max antenna indoors and come in very strong. There are a few other very weak channels that come in once in a blue moon. Not worried about those though. Storms and high winds do affect my receptions from time to time, but for an indoor antenna, works great for me.
Happy Holidays.
Can you buy that in Amazon? What's the specific name and how much? I live suburbs of Chicago and I have a problem getting Ch2 consistently on my current indoor antenna.
I get about 97 channels but most are the same as others of infomercials and hsn and other shopping channels but i just use the regular networks that have extra channels on them like metv, Decades and so on and leave out the others i don't want. I have my roku which has a lot of free channels like Pluto and others and i also have prime so it's enough for me and my antenna is about 25 to 30 feet up and it's a windgard i think that's the name and it does fine. You gave it a good review so that's the one i have.
Damn 97 channels. Those Infomercial channels I think should just go away. Also HSN is an ABC Scripps substation.
In Nashville you used to be able to get MTV2 on antenna OTA. I miss those days.
Where I live in Flint, MI, I can pick up well over 80 channels in the local TV market as well as from Detroit and Lansing. There are two high band VHF channels I can pick up in my area, one from Flint and one from Detroit. The rest are UHF. The recommended type of antenna for my area is an eight-bay bow tie with an antenna mounted booster.
It pays to rescan for channels every so often. Recently, I picked up a new station in Auburn, New York that features MeTV as the main dot one channel which means some of the shows are now on in higher quality than another MeTV channel I used to watch in another market that was on dot 2.
With an amplified rabbit ear, I get about 50-60 channels. In the summer, it can go up to 80 if all the strong stations from other markets come in. Bonus points if tropo happens, and it has before (Edit: ruclips.net/video/WsZKl7Myask/видео.html)
PROVE IT
@@JESUSCHRYSLER5512 I forgot to link it lol, my bad ruclips.net/video/WsZKl7Myask/видео.html
Context: I live in Raleigh, about 125-135 miles from WTVZ's transmitters.
I'm surprised by how many over the air channels are available today. I did a scan today and I was shocked 182 channels! in my area... Wow I couldn't watch or know what going on all those channels if I tried and it's all free!....great time to be a TV watcher...
Thanks for this. With the soaring cost of everything going up over the last three years
our family has to cancel cable as we can't afford
it anymore so I am delighted to hear this.
The problem isn't the channels its the content. TV (cable/satellite included) has very limited content worth watching, thus why I ironically watch a "channel" Antenna Man and other creators on RUclips.
I bought a Christmas Tivo Edge. i also own two other Tivo's. The Edge is really impressive. One is ten years old, and I haven't had one problem all three.
I mostly pick up a dozen full powered channels with my antenna. But the VHF channels like PBS and ABC have some poor reception due to cutbacks from the transmission tower. But since it’s free, I don’t have much complaints other than the shows being broadcasted lately aren’t great.
I remember when "cable" was supposed to help towns like Athol, MA US, most of which couldn't get the two channels from Keene and Manchester. Real price today should be under $30, but now cable providers are charged $21 per subscriber for "broadcast TV surcharge." It's just sick, and you can't even delete the "local" portion to circumvent this fee. Add in required converter boxes, franchise fees and taxes.
Because of my higher elevation I can scoop 60-plus channels, but that's a matter of luck. Aside from morning news and evening national news, there's so little to watch anyhow.
Also to add, I believe it depends on if the stations are full power or low power.
Yes,exactly.
I supplement my local channels with various services found on my smart TV...
It's a little interesting that Get TV used to be on channel 8.3 here in Central Virginia but now it's on channel 30.3 and the information on the guide doesn't match the show that's actually on. Can you imagine watching "All In the Family" while it says that you're watching "American Restoration"?
Picking up TV stations is like a hobby.
Can be. Just like picking up distant AM radio stations, “DX’ing” or picking up shortwave radio stations.
I'm in southern Ontario I can get about 30ish channels depending on the weather it's neat just with some $20 antenna thing I got on Amazon
Dog The Bounty Hunter Sundays on Defy TV lol
Please make a Tablo vs Tivo Edge video!
I used to be able to pick channels from the next city over, I gave up on that as signals are weak from far away.
stinks that here in Allentown, PA, 3rd largest city in PA, we get less than 20 channels. no NY channels, no Philly channels, and barely one NEPA channel on a good day. -__-
Both sights show "violet" and "poor" for the closest stations, about 50 miles away. A total of 8 channels. I can actually pull in 26 channels, but only about half are worth watching. I can turn the antenna and get about 10 others. But most are sub-channels, and the same ones I already get.
Tyler mentioned awhile back that TV stations don't mention broadcast TV. One station in my area, has an "ad" that talks about how much they appreciate their broadcast viewers. Still wondering if quad shield cable will improve reception.
I use the S/PDIF output on my tv and connect it to my receiver which is set to auto detect the input sound signal. All my channels and sub channels are detected as Dolby digital
I'm not sure how many OTA channels I can get, but I'd wish those blank channels would get active soon, otherwise they might as well be dropped & improve on getting hard to get channels like NHK America.
I adore web accessed free broadcast network channels!Bring more there with full individual tv networkaffiliate stations for absolutely free of charge!
First, explain how web access is free.
Been able to receive all the major channels out of Erie Pa except Fox66 out of Erie even with a matching double UHF beam pointed that way. I have to have a UHF antenna toward Buffalo that gets Fox 29 and in most cases depending on weather I can get the major channels out of Buffalo. I get 41 digital channels counting all the sub channels myself.
Keep up the good work Kid!!!

Your a really nice guy but I am from England and 90% of what you are discussing does not really help me. But I am glad you are helping so many Americans out there. I came here as your other video provided this link but I think I will try and find a person who does what you are doing that applies to the UK. Take care. Deb in Newcastle upon Tyne.
And building construction plays a factor as well
PBS. That's it. All of the others refused to put up translators in our rural area.
I live in a rural area and can only pick up 12 channels on a good day. Luckily there is Pluto tv and other resources on my cell phone. And #cough# other entertainment stations. But he covered that in his last video.
I have a Clearstream MAX-V. Because my house is made of stucco and there’s a large tree in front of my house, it was difficult to impossible to get some of the VHF channels downstairs with any antenna even though I live 25 miles north of the towers. So I put the Clearstream in my bedroom upstairs and connected it to a splitter in my closet that leads to my TV downstairs and I get every channel in my area nearly perfectly. I really didn’t want to put the antenna on a roof and I’m glad I didn’t have to.
I actually made my own antenna from a old coax cable and cb radio antenna magnetic base and a bolt washers nuts and a nylon washer and old car radio antenna and electrical tape works very well too
My man, I'm starving for some antenna reviews, man. 😫
With my tiny indoor Rca square black antenna pionted out an window ,in my zip code of 15139, I get 65 channel !
@Kas yep thats the one!
Hey Antenna Man! I brought a TCL BeyondTV I bought in Central America a couple years ago to the States. I'm having trouble getting any kind of Antenna Signal. Do you know if this would be due to the TV? Would I be better off getting a TV here in the states? Or is there some kind of adapter i can use to make it work?
I just wish Sling had 1080p Channels, Besides that it's a good deal
@@kas1843 OTA Channels looks super clear, The Channel's that suppert 1080i do look like full 1080p FYI
For me the OTA local channels look better with my Antenna than on sling.
@@zelloguy From what I looked up Sling High Picture quality is 720p. That's sad because even my former Cable Box goes up the 1080i and looked better than Sling TV
Good information
like having an antenna especially knowing that when one of the networks shows one of their messages about being removed from a cable or satellite company will not effect me. By the way Antenna man saw that you have 240K subscribers. Wanted to say that is a great number of following and only 10 more away from a quarter million which is cool. Bear is saying you will get your quarter million sub by April 1st. Could make a giveaway contest with that somehow. :)
Wow you're right. I am close to a quarter million subscribers. Thanks for being one of them!
With an indoor antenna on a hill in South
Nashua, NH, I receive over 70 channels
mostly from Boston stations about 30
miles SE, and Worcester to the SW, and
Durham, NH PBS about 30 miles NE.
I do not easily receive the ABC station
North in Manchester, NH, about 20 miles
distance for some reason.
Without Comcast Cable and VOIP phone
just Internet, we now pay only $94.00 for
Gig speed internet with a new Modem,
about half the old cost.
Actually, we watch very little OTA TV, except
for some OTA sports and ME TV, my wife
likes to watch Perry Mason, Mash and
Hogan's Heros, for example.
Our two Samsung cell phones and my Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultra, we wat Amazon
Prime, Netflix, and HBO+, the last being
included with my AT&T cell phone plan.
It's a shame they interrupt Commercials,
to show a football game if you know what
I mean by that.
In Detroit we get about everything plus some cheesy low budget local stations and CBC from across the river in Windsor, ON, and even ION from Ann Arbor, MI, 50 miles away. But there's a low power local VHF Low Channel 3 with about 12 channels in all (a few of them redundant) about 20 miles away that I need to figure out how to pick up.
I'm in Dayton, Ohio. After a recent rescan, I found that it may be possible to pick up channels from Cincinnati. I regret that my apartment is not a great place for a roof/attic antenna, but at least the tree/building coverage isn't bad.
That’s about the same distance as DC to Baltimore. I’m in a similar situation and get both DC and Baltimore stations. Funny part is the DC ABC affiliate WJLA has given me a lot of issues and sometimes it doesn’t scan or just has bad reception but I’m able to receive the Baltimore ABC station WMAR crystal clear and I live closer to DC not Baltimore.
Why there are *_four_* HSNs on different transmitters in my area is beyond me 🤔 LOL
I only have one HSN. LoL
HSN pays commissions to each TV station with a unique phone number so it's not uncommon to see more than one affiliate in a market.
Yep, on one transmitter, the .1 is HSN itself, with its 6 other subchannels being other various shopping networks. Then the other transmitters that carry HSN, all are LP independents, and HSN is some random upper sub-channel like .7 or even .12 on one (that one is so heavily-compressed it's barely watchable, like why even carry it $ LOL)
61 channels if I'm pointed Southwest
Can I run a splitter to multiple tv's
Short answer is yes. Long answer depending on how long your cable runs are you might need a powered distribution amplifier. I've been using an 8 port distribution amplifier from Channel Master for a number of years and it's been perfect.
zap2it tells you what shows are on when and where.
Where I live at in Ohio, I only receive 24 over the air TV channels.
As for Akron, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, they receive way more than 24 over the air TV channels! They are so darn lucky, you know?
When I use the antenna all I get are stations that are not in my state.
Lucky you. I once went to a house in Connecticut that picked up channels from both Hartford and Boston.
LoL that's funny.
Yep, I can get them all and a lot more. NBC sometimes drops signal but not for long, just need to rescan and it comes back. I think they play games with programming so they can generate subscriptions through their peacock channel.
HOWdy A-M, ...

Hi, you’re absolutely on her percent right when you said you’re not gonna get cable channels on the TV antenna but you are going to get cable TV show like from history channel for an example on your antenna. If you can pick up local channel defy TV, which is in the group of ion television stations you can get history channel shows and you can get A&E I’m able to pick up dog, the bounty Hunter from A&E and from history channel, I’m able to get American pickers pawn stars with that guy, Rick Harrison, and the old man who passed away and Chumley and then I’m able to get reruns of ice Road truckers and some logging show that I keep seeing commercials for that I’ve seen commercials for on history channel. I don’t know how defy TV is getting away with us being allowed to put TV shows like that on their channels but hey, I’m not gonna complain. I like the history channel shows pawn stars I like American pickers I like ice Road truckers I am on my dog bounty hunter. He’s pretty cool RIP to his wife in the show yes I do know he has a new wife now I think but RIP to his wife that used to be in the show with him. There’s even a cool ice Road trucker show. I forgot the name of it but they go on something called a death road and they show them in box trucks, driving and stuff to people on the death Road. Lisa is in there and Hugh I think his name is is there I’ve never seen that TV show before never heard of it. I think it’s called ice Road deadliest road or something but I also see that one from time to time on defy TV. How are they getting away with putting those type of shadows on a TV antenna you usually don’t get those types because those are paid for shows you got to have cable to have those shows and if you don’t have cable you can’t get them but yes it’s possible to get TV shows from cable TV on your antenna for free just search around you’ll see what you can get and you might be lucky to get pawn stars with Rick Harrison and I am the old man and Chumley or ice Road truckers with you and Lisa or American pickers or dog, the bounty Hunter with his former wife RIP to his former wife.
Hey Lucas, Defy TV bought the syndication rights to those old shows that have already been shown on A+E.
Ion is still going, but they’ve closed down some of their side endeavors like IonPlus and Qubo (a kids channel).
Those channels get those shows because they pay for the Syndication rights.
I only have a total of 4 real TV stations local to me NBC,ABC,CBS & FOX but all 4 come from one company Block Communications. NBC is the only full power station and the others are much lower power. We also have a Christian station with two sub channels and sometimes if we're lucky we can get PBS that comes from BGSU in Bowling Green Ohio, 60 miles away. Since all the channels lowered their transmitter power and antenna size & height there are times when even local channels go out. During the analog days there was no shortage of long distance channels coming in even with simple indoor antennas. Even if I had a way to put up an outdoor antenna my area would still be drastically lacking channels to watch.
Hey Tyler, can you do a video on my company as an installer in Louisiana, Texas and Chicago!
I’m an English-only speaker. So I filtered out all the foreign language channels. After removing the foreign channels (there’s A LOT of them, I’m in Houston, Texas), I get over 150 channels OTA.
FYI, I’m running a Winegard Platinum Series HD7694P mounted on a Channel Master CM-3090 mast. The coax from antenna to TV is only about 50 feet long. I’d say the antenna is roughly 12 to 15 feet or so above ground level. With that, I get nearly 160 Channels. YMMV
Oh you're in Houston. I guess you filtered out Univision Houston and Unimas.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld
Yeah, I think so. Since I can’t understand what’s being said, I don’t benefit from them. There are also quite a few Nigerian stations, Chinese stations, Philippine stations, and Thai stations. I filtered those out also. Do you watch the Nigerian, Chinese, Philippine, and Thai stations too?
Try running one of your reception reports for the town of Mountain Home, Arkansas.
I just did. Signals are fair and can likely be picked up fine with the right antenna
I run a channel scan every couple of days, even though nothing is likely to change.
A lot of channels here in Las Vegas with a small RCA branded Yagi antenna pointed at Black Mountain. The problem, there is nothing worth watching. Broadcast TV is the new AM radio.
I get 45 channels in Charleston sc
Iam about 22 miles from very tall broadcast tower
Entering 2nd year cord cut & still not paying a single cent for tv.. or equipment rentals... no more Faux, NewsMin, & 2America network fees !! Hooray !!
Lived in Niagara Falls, Ontario a few years ago, I can pick up all OTA stations from Buffalo through a indoor antenna. But I never seen any station from Toronto even I use a yagi pointing to CN Tower.
I assume you’ve used the necessary websites to locate the antenna farm so you know where to point your antenna?
You may need: a larger antenna, to mount it higher in the air, or a signal amplifier.
Ever try to get OTA channels in the Boot heel of Missouri or the foothills of of Arkansas.
Please give your view, experience and update ( if you have done before ) about “ MOHU “ outdoor antenna . Thanks 🙏
Thanks!
What is your recommendation for a set-top box to receive the new NextGen signals? How is the Sunset date determined for the switchoff of ATSC 1.0. Is this date determined by individual stations or a blanket date for all NextGen stations?
You picked up me long ago! 😄
Thanks
I am pretty close to your area. I have a question regarding OTA resolution. Many, if not most of the OTA channels seem to be 720p (some as poor as 480i). A few are major networks do 1080i. Will broadcast TV ever get to a uniform 1080? And how about 4K??? Sometimes I think that networks just provide OTA customers with their lowest level of service or are cable channels still as low as 480i resolution??
Our location is surrounded with towers like a picket fence of stations from the poor to good in signal strength. Just wish omni directional antennas did a better job. Luckily I don't watch a lot of TV and am able to pull in 50 channels with an attic attic antenna.
I was trying to scan channels when I installed an Mohu Leaf antenna on the Element brand TV set. However, it wouldn't let me get the ABC nor NBC affiliated channels. I even tried to move it around the room and i never got those channels. What is the best indoor Antenna TV I can use to get all the channels I want?
Something that may rate a video! My 2022 Sony X95K has a built in NextGen tuner. I had nothing but trouble getting the seven NextGen stations here in Phoenix, Arizona. Further investigation (with the Channel Master website) showed that my local ATSC 3.0 stations are a whopping 8 db Weaker than the regular transmitters! Why???
Will a newer TV get more channels than an older TV with an indoor antenna ?
There are some channels that only have audio and no picture. Why is that
Minneapolis about 70 channels, 50 that I would watch.
I get these normally plus some occasional Myrtle Beach, Fayetteville Raleigh and as far away a Charlotte
I'm correcting an existing list so this fairly much correct. Some of the RF data might be wrong since changes were made, since I first printed out the list
I'm on the North Carolina Coast, 5 miles inland in the Carolina Pine, about 25 feet off the ground, with a ClearStream 4Max aimed north at Greenville NC and a ClearStrean 4Max aimed South toward Brunswick County WECT, combined with a 2 input RCA Preamp.

Hmm seems like you don't have Univision and Unimas. I think Bounce is a pretty good channel.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld No I guess I don't. I just have Azteca America and Novelisima
But I also have a ROKU that carries Univision and most or the Movie & TV apps carry a section of Hispanic selections
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld One more point
My Antenna are in a fixed position to receive what I watch the most. So I know that there are several more towers in the Wilmington Area and there are towers in Myrtle Beach, Fayetteville and other communities, I'm just watching what I choose to watch, which in my case is, Whatever my wife wants to watch. I don't watch a lot of TV other than the news.
That's why I have a Roku on all 5 tvs in my home.
Variety.
Watch and follow your youtube page and you have great information. I bought the McDoury short range antenna you reviewed, it picks up really good where i am located 38 miles southeast of Birmingham Al. I am picking uhf and vhf channels some that i thought would be no way l would get them. The two channels and sub channels i am not getting are large Tv stations WBRC and ABC 33/40, i am picking stations close to them and beyond them, is it anything to do with they are Nextgen 3.0 and its some way interfering with the 1.0 ? It has me scratching my head, this little antenna is even picking up channels 40 miles in the opposite way l have it facing. It is real cloudy here and raining, l am using it through a Hdhomerun Flex Duo l just hooked everything up yesterday so its all new to me. I am picking up 35 Channels.
I think it does have to do with ATSC 3.0 transition, I am also in Birmingham and all the major channels (Fox, NBC, ABC, CW, CBS) just started showing up on my HDHomeRun Flex 4K as new ATSC 3.0 channels. I haven't seen the ATSC 1.0 Fox channel in a couple months. But my antenna is in my attic in a hilly area, so even though I'm close to the broadcast towers I don't get many channels.
Getting every channel I don't want, and can't get the only two I want.
@Kas Nope. 48 miles away, can't get VHF-HI when the sun goes down. Parma transmitters, CBS 10 (Virrual 19.1) 195mhz, and FOX 8 (Virtial 8.1) 181mhz. Winegard HD7698 on 30ft tower.
Is it possible to help us with newer TV's without atsc 3 tuners. External tuners available and TV's with one
I get 50 with some duplicates. I have VHF and UHF antenna.
Ah, so main channels with a few repeaters. I've had some TV station sub duplicates come in when I traveled to the NC Mountains 3 months ago. It was in the Asheville/Greenville/Spartanburg DMA, so I guess that makes it unsurprising 😂
all the sites agree i will not recieve signals short of puting up a 50 foot tower i'm screwed. before it went digital i could get 4-5 weak signals that might come and go

We have one other channel but it's selection escapes me at the moment.
My tv said one digital channel found is it my antenna??
antenna man, I have a question, I'm in Philly, and n I'm hearing about channel 17, if I want channel 17 I have to pay for it. Is this true? I pick up channel 17 with my roof antenna. Thanks for the video. Have a nice holiday. Take care
You were misinformed. The owner of WPHL is having a retransmission dispute with the cable company Comcast. It might be removed from the cable lineup if terms aren't agreed but the broadcast signal will stay the same. See video below. ruclips.net/video/rppTzSP5NI4/видео.html
How do we know what antenna to buy? I am about 35 miles north of chicago. I just dont know what to buy?
It depends on the signal and frequencies in your area. Strong signal areas can typically get away with a small antenna, fair signal areas a medium sized antenna, and weak signal areas need a large outdoor antenna. You can find a list of recommended antennas or sign up for an antenna recommendation from me below: www.antennamanpa.com/antenna-recommendations.html
Installed an antenna on the mast of the 10m antenna I put up at my uncles we ended up getting some Cable channels probably due to a bad line on the pole leaking RF
I live in pearl city Hawaii I don’t pick up abc or fox channel
I have several purchased streaming services. Came h ere to see IF I could also ADD an antenna and it's channels. I don't think I can "ammend" or lessen my Hulu LIVE, but maybe Regular Hulu. Advice anyone !?? ❓❓❓❓
Been an antenna users for years. I'm on the edge of the signal for WFMZ. Live in Newtown Bucks, using a 3 ban antenna now. Can add another antenna to receive WFMZ?
It's hard to say without looking into your reception situation. Consider signing up for my antenna recommendation service at the link below. This can prevent you from spending hundreds of dollars and time wasted on setting up the wrong antenna for your area. antennamanpa.com/antenna-recommendations.html
